ones wearing skin tight jeans and tops ,sporting hijab are the best example of hypocrisy.
That’s why we think it’s some kind of political statement.
This one in the article didn’t go hijab until she went to college.
“That’s why we think it’s some kind of political statement.”
That’s exactly my thought, and why seeing a woman in hijab makes me uneasy, nevermind the ones wearing the varous varieties of more-encompassing robes, veils and whatnot. It’s a political statement and a repudiation of everything we have come to believe in this society about the equality of women, and also that men are expected to be responsible for controlling themselves.
That’s also leaving aside the fact that in area where muslims become a majority, very soon there is a pressure on all (especially young) women to wear hijab or be harassed by every knuckle-dragging muslim male, spouting their twisted take on sexual morality. I think the French and others who have banned hijab from public schools are probably on the right track - it’s unfortunate that religious or personal freedoms must be infringed on, but sometimes necessary for the greater good.
